Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video recording systems on mobile terminals display preview content and various adjustment indicators in a single window, leading to a chaotic interface that distracts users and hinders their ability to reference relevant data effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for video recording that utilize two separate windows on the video recording interface: a first window for displaying preview content and a second window for displaying information corresponding to a target assistance function, which is triggered by user operation, allowing for focused data display and control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If preview content and adjustment indicators are displayed in a single window, then all information is available in one place, but the interface becomes chaotic and distracts users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidinterface clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface is divided into two separate windows: a first window for preview content and a second window for assistance function information. This segmentation allows each window to serve its specific purpose without interference, maintaining interface clarity while ensuring all necessary information remains accessible to the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple indicators are displayed together, then comprehensive control information is provided, but user focus is hindered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol functionalityVSAvoiduser focus
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The second window extracts and displays only the information corresponding to the currently triggered assistance function, separating it from other indicators. This extraction approach provides comprehensive control functionality when needed while maintaining user focus by showing only relevant information at any given time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If all data is displayed in one interface, then complete control is achieved, but reference efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol completenessVSAvoidreference efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the display into two windows, the system maintains complete control functionality while improving reference efficiency. Users can quickly locate assistance function information in the second window without searching through all indicators, thereby enhancing productivity during video recording operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
